What is it exactly about North Carolina's history of never producing a quality NFL quarterback? Once I went searching for UNC signal callers who have made it in the pros, such names as these came up: -- the Raiders took him in the seventh round in 2002 and liked his athleticism, but not as a QB. drafted in 1975 by the Bills, (1967 by the 49ers). Good college QBs, but not in the NFL. (fourth round, 45th overall by the Eagles in 1960). in 1968. (Durham Herald-Sun)
